Mastodon Beer

Mastodon beer is a collaborative effort between the American heavy metal band Mastodon and various established craft breweries. The most famous iterations include the 'Crack the Skye' Russian Imperial Stout and the 'Mother Puncher' Farmhouse IPA, which have been brewed by KnuckleBonz and various artisanal brewing partners.

Because these are collaborative craft releases, the manufacturing location varies depending on the specific brewery partner. While the band provides the brand identity and input on flavor profiles, the technical production and distribution are managed by established beverage companies specializing in limited-edition craft spirits and beer. Ownership of the brand identity remains with the band, though the commercial recipes are often properties of the collaborating breweries.
